Hello Peter, first congratulations to your dad for having such a good taste in watches!
The pictures you posted show very small to me - no matter if I try to display them on the laptop or on the table or the smartphone.
With this limitation, which piece of advice can be provided for your query?
If you plan to sell it, I'd think twice about getting it restored, by anyone. Maybe just a service to the movement in case you want to wear it in the meantime - but with a V72 under the hood, it's going to be pricey.
Otherwise, if it stays tucked away until it's sold, I'd leave it as is, because nowadays many frown upon restored pieces, they prefer originality above anything else. Also a buyer may have their own watchmaker to whom assign this piece for service and restoration. You will hardly recover restoration costs if you sell it soon after it's been done, let alone make any profit on it.

Either way, what should be restored, how and by whom is a choice better left to the one who'll have the watch in the long term.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Fabrizio
